For Nutrition Month, Operation Smile Philippines celebrates the power of proper nutrition in transforming the lives of children with cleft lip and palate. Through our nutrition program, we support families with feeding guidance, monitor our patients’ growth, and help children get strong and ready for surgery.
We started the month strong with a seminar titled “Bayanihan for Health: Promoting Child Nutrition and Community Wellness”, bringing together 45 health workers from various Cebu local government units to learn about the vital role of nutrition in comprehensive cleft care and food security — the heart of this year’s Nutrition Month theme.
In line with “Food at Nutrition Security, Maging Priority! Sapat na Pagkain, Karapatan Natin!”, we continue our commitment to making nutrition accessible for all because every child deserves not just enough food, but a chance to smile.
